Collection

Initially, the figs, carried by the producers, are transported to the reception building, where a first sorting of size and quality takes place before the packaging process begins. This building is located in Istiia, more specifically on the provincial road from Istiia to Edipsos, thus facilitating access for all producers in the area.
Figs gathered for disinfestation

Disinfestation

Once the figs have been received, they are fumigated, which follows all the regulations, always in accordance with procedures and products approved by the Ministry. In this way, the elimination of any micro-organisms is achieved, thus protecting the quality of the Evia figs.

At the end of the fumigation, the figs are transferred and the process continues in special washing machines at the Association's packing plant, where the figs are washed at 60-65 degrees, in order to remove any soil residues before dehydration and thus ensure the best possible quality.
